I reckon they have been losing money for quite a while (which they can afford to since before last year they have had very profitable years) and were hoping the promotions and tournaments would pick up activity for the site (which didn't happen), but now they are ready to call it quits and cut back on costs.
The promotional team of Duelbits is responsible for all these things. Believe it or not, most of the promotions of Duelbits have given sure profit to the users. The terms of their promotions were too easy. Where most other casino looks into the probability of revenue before running a promotion. Perhaps, Duelbits team have observed all these things too lately, which has affected their revenue badly.
I think so, their weekly tournament both the original and slot tournaments that they have been discontinued seems to be giving more edge to the participants than to the house.
Surprisingly they have done it for few months, their promotional team should be the one to be blamed if the tournaments make them lose much money as they should have stopped it earlier if they realized that the tournaments were not good for their bankroll.
Unfortunately what they did is not evaluating their tournament and make a change, but they sacrifice their players who are regularly making profit from the tournaments.
Well somehow there maybe a basis on those thing since this situation like excluding people to join in their tournaments would provably now gonna happen if there's no situation like that happen.
But its to bad for them for losing a lot of money from their tournaments since they could see it earlier and do some action if they are not gaining anything. Then see what happen they starting to create certain troubles due to confusions and other things due to this situations.
To bad for them if people will lost their trust due to this situation, that's why they need to step up and do something to make people feel that they are still a good casino to gamble.
